visit in Benin. Continue...
He noted that though the challenge of modern times had bestowed on the
shoulders of some women and single mothers the status of bread winners
of their homes, such should not be used as an accuse to flout the
laws.
The Governor urged the Muslim women leaders to use their offices to
propagate the essence of healthy living among children and women in
the nation and the need to maintain proper sanitary conditions in
their neighbourhoods.
Oshiomhole lamented that the challenge of widowhood had also exposed
children to different temptations, adding that there was the need for
society to be careful, to avoid unwittingly creating more problems for
the nation.
He noted that money was not the best thing that guaranteed ones
happiness, "but honesty and selfless service.
The Governor added that if Muslims and Christians were adequately
committed to their religious doctrines, the world would be a better
place.
He urged the women to propagate the message of Islam through the nooks
and crannies of the nation, and to also inculcate the values of
honesty in their followers.
Oshiomhole, however, assured the association of government's support
in ensuring that its present leadership made remarkable progress and
also consolidated on the successes of their predecessors.
Earlier, the FOMWAN National President, Hajia Amina Omoti, urged the
state government to look into the issue of the teaching of Islamic
Religious Studies in public schools in the state.
Omoti also solicited for government's moral and financial support for
the effective running of the association.
